Dear Mt. Tam Church,
This Sunday, we will delve into the rich narrative found in the book of First
Samuel. Here we will find a profound story of mentorship between an elderly priest named Eli and the young prophet Samuel. This story is not just a testament to the power of guidance and wisdom passed down through generations, but also a reminder of the importance of being open and receptive to God’s will, even when it leads us in unexpected directions.
In our exploration, we will reflect on the crucial role each of us plays in mentoring and supporting the next generation of Christians. Our discussion will revolve around how we can create an environment where young people feel empowered to explore and express their understanding of God’s plan for their personal lives as well as for the church-at-large. Furthermore, we will contemplate the idea that God’s plan might sometimes challenge our expectations and comfort.
This Sunday is more than just a service… it’s an opportunity for us to learn, grow, and prepare ourselves to support the young leaders of our church. Let us come together with open minds and hearts, ready to listen and learn from each other and from God’s word.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Take Care,
Pastor Luke
